text: Manchester, UK or REMOTE | Frontend Engineer (React)<p>We&#x27;re in the process of developing a complete overhaul of the current Boomkat website. Encompassing a download store and ecommerce functionality for our physical sales, it&#x27;s a sizeable project. With over a million tracks in our back catalogue, and millions of orders, we operate at a scale which represents some unique challenges, and opportunities.<p>We&#x27;re focusing on improving the overall user experience of the website, creating something that&#x27;s beautiful and engaging, and better using the depth of data we house. What we&#x27;re building right now will lay the foundations for an exciting second phase, where we plan to break new ground in delivering incredible experiences around our music.<p>The new website is built in Ruby on Rails, and uses React.js and Redux heavily on the front end. We&#x27;re looking for a skilled, detail oriented contract Javascript developer to join the team. We&#x27;re a small, fast moving team, with a wide range of skills. We work remotely, but have a base in Manchester.<p>Someone who would enjoy this role will have:<p><pre><code>  - A thorough understanding of React and Redux, and working knowledge of Ruby on Rails.
  - Good working knowledge of responsive design processes and techniques
  - Experience delivering cross-platform applications for the web; particularly in a mobile environment.
  - Plenty of experience writing well structured and tested code, in a continuous delivery process.
  - An ability to work quickly, whilst still maintaining a robust and stable codebase.
</code></pre>

text: Sweden | Remote only | $10-$20 &#x2F; hour, less than part time<p>Do you want to work one or two hours, one or some days each week?<p>The job tasks: Reading IT security vulnerabilities lists, and tag the
vulnerabilities with tags like `nginx` `nginx-1.11` `nginx-1.11.13`.<p>Requirements: Being able to tag the vulnerabilities correctly. And being
meticulous. And fairly fluent in (written) English.<p>How the work you produce will be used: Slightly save the world from IT
security vulnerabilities.<p>I&#x27;m looking for more than one person for this job.<p>I would probably want you to start working for me via Upwork or Freelancer.com,
because I think that&#x27;s an easy way to ensure we have a client-freelancer
relationship, not an employer-employee. And later, if Upwork or Freelancer
does something weird (Upwork recently raised their fees 100% for example), we
can leave them, because we found each other via Hacker News (so Upwork&#x27;s
or Freelancer&#x27;s non-circumvention rules shouldn&#x27;t apply).<p>You would work only a few hours this month (August 2016). Then, in September
and onwards, a few hours each week.<p>Please send me an email, see my profile.<p>Kind regards,
KajMagnus
